4:01 pm
>> you will feel the full force of the law. >> shepard: tonight, the battle to take back the streets. and mystery at the mansion. >> we have obviously had an extraordinarily difficult time. some tragedies, some losses. >> shepard: we are hearing from the millionaire whose son and girlfriend turned up dell dead in his home. but, first from fox this tuesday night, another harrowing session on wall street after days of huge losses. today, more wild swings and more stomach churning moments for those with a 401(k). this time, we ended in the positive. stocks rose at the opening bell, pulled back in the negative territory when the federal reserve announced it was keeping interest rates at record lows. then, in the final hour and a half, a swing of 640 points and suddenly the market had bounced back, easing or i should say erasing most of yesterday's losses. the dow ended up more than 400 points. the nasdaq 125. the s&p up more than 50.
4:02 pm
investors had a hard time figuring out the announcement from the fed that it's holding its target for the federal funds rate at a record low near 0%. that's the interest banks charge each other for overnight loans. it influences the prime rate, which, in turn, effects interest that folks pay to borrow money. just about any money. in its statement, the board said that it made these decisions and admitted that, quote, economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the committee had expected. the statement went on to indicate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid 2013. that's a huge change from its previous statements, in which it only predicted rates will remain low, quote, for an extended period. gerri willis from the fox business network is with us now. that doesn't sound like a big deal but i guess it was. >> it sure is a big deal. the first response from that report from the fed was hey they say the economy is weaker than we thought. we believe it's weaker than we
4:03 pm
thought. so they sold off. good news here though interest rates will stay lower through 2013. what you saw was the biggest dissent we have ever seen from the fed. three of the fed's governors saying i don't agree with that. we should talk about when we should raise rates. big dissent. that was a surprise. >> shepard: after mauling it over a bit, investors after selling off seemed to think it was a buying opportunity. >> they sure did. 640 point change in direction. a really big rally. shocking, surprising. as many as stocks rose on the new york stock exchange for every one that fell. there was 12% profit increase for these companies that has been baked in and that's one reason why people were looking for value here. these stocks are not trading on their fundamentals. they are not trading on their earnings. they were trading out of fear. so there were real bargains out there, shep. >> shepard: gerri willis her report airs weekdays 5:00. 2:00 pacific.
